Pastoral Care

Each student belongs to a House Tutor group which meets with the Tutor Teacher each day. The Houses are split up vertically into Tutor groups and include students from Years 7 - 12. The Tutor Teacher and the students stay with that group throughout their time at the College. The Tutor writes an overall term report to go out with reports written by subject teachers. House Heads work with Tutors to promote the welfare of each student. Senior students are encouraged to take an active role in helping and encouraging younger students as part of this vertical pastoral care structure and in other endeavours, such as sport, music, and debating.

Counselling is available to students in a number of ways. The College has Student Support personnel to assist students deal with problems encountered in their growth through adolescence to young adulthood.

Career counselling commences in Year 7 and is available through to Year 12. All Year levels receive specific subject choice counselling focusing on Information Evenings. Year 10 students are given personal advice with selection of subjects for senior study. Further help is given for deciding on tertiary education in its many forms. Individual curriculum counselling can also be arranged at any time.

We strive to develop a learning environment which provides for the progressive growth of responsibility, critical awareness and self-discipline.
